Dr. Mehmet Oz encouraged Americans to get the measles shot in one of the most public statements from a top health official within the Trump administration.
Earlier this week, Dr. Mehmet Oz encouraged Americans to get the measles vaccine in one of the most public statements supporting the shot from a top public health official within the Trump administration.
Oz, who is the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, warning about the dangers of measles amid a number of outbreaks around the country.
"Take the vaccine, please. We have a solution for our problem," Oz said. "Not all illnesses are equally dangerous, and not all people are equally susceptible to those illnesses. But measles is one [where] you should get your vaccine."
Some infectious disease experts praised Oz for publicly endorsing the vaccine and not downplaying how serious the disease can be.
His comments come as the U.S. struggles to control the spread of measles with more than 700 cases so far this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This is the third-highest number of annual cases since measles was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000.
